Math.
You either have it on your side
Or you don’t.
Whatever numbers you are working with,
It’s never going to add up to anything other than the sum of its parts.
You can wishful think
You can squint your eyes, look sideways at the equation and if you like,
You can stand on your head to get a different perspective
But math has a way of being perniciously indifferent to how you approach the solution
And as the ballot counting continues in America
Millions await the fate of a nation
Now at the mirthless mercy of math.
But don’t blame the math!
After all without math we couldn’t bring you
